This was a fun one to read at the office! I’m sure everyone has daydreamed about murdering those who make their life difficult, but McMasters is there to turn dreams into reality! This book follows several students there, each with a goal to end someone’s life. 

I loved the humor in this. Dryly funny, full of little puns about murder and death that somehow still felt sophisticated, despite how silly they were. The tone of this book was what really made it stand out—almost felt like they were learning salad fork etiquette, rather than how best to kill someone quickly without being noticed. Everything felt vaguely aristocratic, and made it seem much more fun. I highly recommend this to anyone as a light little read.
